Infosearcher: Learning in the Web 2.0 World
I like this breakdown of various "literacies" on the web and the kinds of skills and perspectives they're connected to in real life. We've been talking about this a lot in my media literacy class, of course, but concrete examples are nice and this is a good summary. \n\nI think I take many of these for granted, which makes it harder for me to take a step back when I'm showing something to someone who hasn't learned to "see" things the way I do.

The Creation of the Media: Political ... - Google Book Search
Carol wanted us to read this for the second class, but the google book version doesn't have all the pages accessible... it was supposed to be on e-reserves, I should check that.

frontline: the merchants of cool | PBS
One of the resources for week 1 of my Media Literacy Class, this website for the documentary gives a lot of information about the way corporations are trying to take advantage of teen innovators to market their goods. I liked the responses from teens they posted on the site - they're able to see and respond to this sort of thing intelligently. We also touched on this for my Young Adult Literature class when we read Scott Westerfield's "So Yesterday," a thriller that uses "cool hunting" as its premise to talk about individuality and other themes.

Pew Internet & American Life Project Presentation: A Timeline of Teens and Technology
First week assignment - powerpoint presentation from Pew study with hightlights from the "Teens, Privacy, and Online Social Networks" study. Really good coverage, visual examples, of Web 2.0 standards and very nice to see it organized chronologically. Covers 1990-2007.

Generation M: Media in the Lives of 8-18 Year-olds - Report - Kaiser Family Foundation
First reading for the Media Literacy Class. I thought it brought out a lot of interesting topics - especially the fact that kids are "multitasking" more, but not necessarily seeing less of their family or friends. They also look at the role of parents and restrictions on the use of various media and the statistics on things like grades, socialization, etc. that are sometimes connected to media use. There is a lot of statistical data mixed in and broken down by age, gender, SES, race, etc., though of course you can't necessarily get causality for anything out of stats like these. Still, interesting! My main quibble with the study is that it seems too focused on the form over the content. They separate computer games and video games, for instance, and note that kids are often using computers and listening to music at the same time without touching on Napster or any other online music things that were going on (yes, even in the year 2000!). They do separate out "IM Chat" and compare it to phone usage, but I'm sure they'd have to restructure their survey now if they wanted to understand how teens communicate - you've got IM, e-mail, cell phones, land lines, texting, social networking sites, blogging, video blogging, twitter, skype, massively multiplayer online games, virtual worlds, etc. - Web 2.0 changes lots of ways teens might use or perceive technology and it's expanding all the time.

Zero to Six: Electronic Media in the Lives of Infants, Toddlers and Preschoolers - Kaiser Family Foundation
An optional reading for week 1, I chose the other one about older youth. This might be interesting for Mom to read, though, since she works with toddlers. I should share it with LIzzy too, since she's been doing Squeak with the daycare for the PRCC
